EdNet Working Groups

Overview

EdNet is growing and its membership is becoming more diverse, so we have decided to engage members through working groups or communities within our network. Working groups can be initiated at any time around any particular topic when there is significant interest in more focused communication and collaboration.

Working Group Deliverables

Each working group will collaborate to develop a deliverable of value to members. It is up to the group to define the deliverable they wish to create. Examples could include: curriculum modules, courses, case studies, assessment tools, translation of educational materials, scholarly studies or papers evaluating curriculum or learning effectiveness, videos, simulations, or exercises. The deliverables will be made available to faculty, schools, and LAI members through the EdNet section on the LAI website.

Start a Working Group

To create a working group, anyone from an EdNet member institution can contact the EdNet team with a short proposal including a mission statement and basic plan. Working groups will be disbanded whenever the members deem that an issue has been addressed or the group is no longer active. Working group members are expected to actively engage with others to create curriculum modules and tools that can be shared with EdNet members.
